Mitt Romney's Top 10 Gaffes
The 2008 presidential campaign is just a few months old, but Republican fundraising leader Mitt Romney has already made a career's worth of memorable media misstatements. Here is a look at his top ten gaffes — so far.
"Hugo Chavez has tried to steal an inspiring phrase — 'Patria o muerte,
venceremos.' It does not belong to him. It belongs to a free Cuba."
(March 9, 2007)
Another case of campaign researchers apparently being off for the day: "Patria o muerte, venceremos" (which means in Spanish, "Fatherland or death, we shall overcome") does not belong to a free Cuba. The starkly fascistic phrase was, in fact, a tagline for Castro, who Romney had, earlier in the same speech, declared "a stain on Cuban soil." Romney might have gotten away with the misattribution had his audience been anywhere else than where — and what — it was: fiercely anti-Castro Latino Republicans gathered for the Miami-Dade Lincoln Day Dinner.
